Steel plateskirt

Steel plateskirt is a tier 20 free-to-play item worn in the legs slot for melee, with a high alchemy value of 300 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Steel plateskirt is to buy it: Horvik's Armour Shop in Varrock sells it for 5,010 coins, and 3 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict

You can also make it yourself: it takes 20 Smithing and gives 225 Smithing XP, using 3 × Steel bar. Other sources include Broken armour and Former vampyre. Where the materials come from: Steel bar (made with 20 Smithing). Making ten takes 30 × Steel bar and gives 2,250 Smithing XP. Reaching level 20 Smithing takes 4,470 XP in total; the Smithing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Smithing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Steel plateskirt: Steel plateskirt + 1. It is worn in the leg slot at tier 20 as melee gear; compare it with every other piece on the Legs list. Steel plateskirt is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 300 coins, which is 4,710 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
